June,     J  9  00. 


N  submitting:  this,  the  first  volume 
of  the  Official  Manual  of  the  Cripple 
Creek  District,  the  publisher  desires 
to  thank  the  officers  of  the  various 
r^  companies  and  others  who  have 
assisted  him  in  its  compilation,  and 
to  state  that  it  has  entailed  eight 
months  of  arduous  labor  and  min- 
ute research  to  attain  the  results  now 
presented. 

It  has  been  his  aim  to  not  only- 
make  the  work  correct  and  complete, 
but  also  the  best  publication  ever  issued 
of  the  greatest  mining  camp  in  the 
world — which  Cripple  Creek  justly  de- 
serves this  being  evidenced  by  the 
typographical  part  produced  by  The 
Smith-Brooks  Printing  Company, 
and  the  etchings  and  half  tones  by 
The  Williamson-Haffner  Engraving 
Company,  both  of  Denver. 

All  those  who  appreciate  these 
efforts  are  particularly  requested  to 
forward  data  relative  to  any  changes 
in  the  companies  represented  herein, 
and  to  submit,  for  the  next  volume,  all 
information  regarding  new  corpora- 
tions. The  observance  of  this  request 
will  greatly  facilitate  the  compilation 
and  correctness  of  subsequent  issues.

THE  CRIPPLE  CREEK  DISTRICT 

ITS   TAST  A^D   FUTU%E

I.     HISTORICAL   AND   GENERAL. 

The  name  of  Cripplf  Creek  is  said  to  have  originaled  from  the  fact  that  at  a  eer 
tain  point  along  the  course  of  the  little  stream  flowing  through  the  ranch  on  which  the 
town  was  subsequently  built  there  was  a  morass  in  which  straying  cattle  wandered  and, 
in  their  efforts  to  extricate  themselves,  were  occasionally  lamed.  So  says  one  of  the  sur- 
vivors of  the  band  of  men  who  once  tended  the  herds  that  grazed  on  the  hills  now  pierced 
with  many  shafts.  However,  the  name  needs  no  apology  today;  the  magic  baptism  of 
golden  discovery  has  made  it  sound  as  alliterative  and  impressive  as  the  most  exacting 
historian  cotikl  demand. 

Cripple  Creek  has  hiid  its  vicissitudes.  In  the  early  days  of  Colorado's  history  the 
country  around  Pike'.s  Peak  was  searched  for  gold  by  the  pioneers  who  were  attracted 
from  afar  by  the  snowy  crest  of  the  old  beacon  mountain.  They  found  no  gold  worthy 
of  mention  either  in  the  canons  or  amid  the  hills  that  lie  at  the  foot  of  the  peak.  The 
interval  of  a  whole  generation  elapsed  before  the  expectations  of  the  first  prospectors  be- 
came justified,  and  during  the  intervening  period  of  over  thirty  years  the  district  was 
the  scene  of  a  peculiar  incident  which  passed  into  local  history  under  the  name  of  the 
Mount  Pisgah  fiasco. 

Among  the  hills  which,  like  a  (lock  of  sheep,  cluster  around  the  southern  liase  of 
Pike's  Peak  there  is  a  dark  cone  standing  in  solitude  among  Its  smaller  brethren.  This 
is  Mt.  Pisgah.  In  .\prll,  1884,  the  rumor  of  rich  discoveries  of  gold  caused  a  hortle  of 
prospectors  to  hurry  from  LeadvlUe  and  I  lie  adjoining  camps  to  the  country  south  of 
Pike's  Peak.  Mt.  I'isgah  was  mentioned  as  the  spot  from  which  the  miner  might  hope 
to  see  the  promised  land  of  wealth  and  plenty.  'I'he  dawn  of  the  next  day  found  an  ex- 
cited crowd  of  foil!'  thousand  moai  cami)ing  upon  the  shoulder  of  the  hill.  They  found  no 
gold  in  workable  quantity  save  in  the  prospect  holes  made  by  the  original  locators.  Sail- 
ing was  suspected;  the  man  wlio  liad  instigated  the  rush  was  conspicuous  by  absence; 
an  accomplice  was  caught  with  a  bottle  of  yellow  stuff  In  his  pocket.  It  was  not  whisky, 
but  its  modern  antidote,  the  chloride  of  gold.  Man  had  endeavored  to  remedy  nature's 
seeming  niggardliiifss  and  the  rock  had  been  artificially  enriched.  Angry  feelings  found 
vent  in  threats  of  lynching,  but  in  the  failure  to  lay  hands  on  the  real  perpetrators  of  the 
fraud,  the  affair  broke  up  in  a  big  iiicnic  and  a  general  drunk.  A  little  digging  ha<l  been 
done,  one  or  two  veins  were  imcovercd.  but  the  comparative  poverty  of  the  ore  only  added 
bitterness  to  the  general  disappoiniuniit.  The  crowd  disappeared  as  quickly  as  it  had 
come.  The  hillsides  resumed  the  (piii't  aspect  of  the  cattle  range  for  which  they  seemed 
best  fitted.    The  incident  was  over. 

Not  until  189.'!  did  Crlpi>le  Creek  make  its  mark;  two  years  before,  tlie  name  had 
begun  to  be  mentioned  in  milling  circles,  liut  the  Mt.  Pisgah  excitement  had  discredited 
the  district,  and  the  contemporaneous  discoveries  of  large  silver  lodes  at  Creede,  at  I  lie 
head  waters  of  the  liio  (;ran<le,  diverted  attention  for  a  time. 

For  several  years  preceding  1891,  prospectors  had  wandered  over  the  hills  between 
Colorado  Springs  and  Florissant,  unconsciously  treading  in  the  footsteps  of  the  men  of 
1858.  Among  the  earliest  of  the  gold-seekers  was  Robert  Womack,  who  once  owned  a 
small   raiiih   in  llie  dlslriii.     lie  sold  il   to  Heiiiietl   &  Myers,  (lie  jirojirietors.  at   that   time.

of  the  cattle  range  .which  covered  a  large  part  of  the  area  now  forming  the  environs  of 
the  town  of  Cripple  Creek.  For  ten  years,  from  1880  to  1890,  Bob  Womack  had  been  living 
in  the  district,  doing  occasional  work  for  Bennett  &  Myers.  He  spent  his  spare  time  in 
prospecting,  for  he  had  previously  had  some  experience  in  Gilpin  County,  and  knew  gold 
ore  when  he  saw  It.  In  the  course  of  desultory  digging,  he  found  several  veins,  and  when 
seen,  at  intervals,  at  Colorado  Springs,  he  would  exhibit  pieces  of  float  (surface  ore)  as 
evidence  of  his  discoveries;  but  having  a  reputation  for  honesty  rather  than  shrewdness, 
his  statements  made  little  Impression.  For  many  years  he  worked  a  hole  in  Poverty 
Gulch  without  staking  a  claim  in  proper  form.  There  seemed  no  need  to  do  so;  no  one 
came  to  disturb  him.  The  whole  hill  country  was  at  that  time  fenced  In  so  as  to  serve  as 
a  summer  range  for  cattle.  The  cowboys  and  herdsmen  looked  good-naturedly  at  Bob's 
digging,  and  considered  It  of  no  moment.  In  December,  1890,  E.  M.  De  la  Vergne  and  F.  F. 
Frisbee  came  up  from  Colorado  Springs  to  prospect.  The  hills  were  under  snow  and  only 
a  few  bare  spots  permitted  of  any  investigation.  On  Guyot  Hill,  in  Eclipse  and  Poverty 
Gulches,  they  found  evidence  of  gold  veins,  from  which  they  took  away  samples.  Encour- 
aged by  their  first  visit,  De  la  Vergne  and  Frisbee  returned  early  in  February,  1891.  They 
found  Bob  Womack  at  work  in  Poverty  Gulch.  He  had  sunk  a  shaft  to  a  depth  of  forty- 
eight  feet,  and  encountered  good  ore.  The  claim  he  had  pegged  out  was  called  the 
Chance,  and  a  number  of  stakes  indicated  that  he  had  re-located  it  six  years  in  succession 
without  recording  the  fact  or  complying  with  the  conditions  of  the  mining  law  in  regard 
to  the  amount  of  assessment  work  annually  required.  When  he  found  that  the  new-comers 
were  making  inquiries,  he  re-located  the  claim  as  the  El  Paso,  and  De  la  Vergne,  finding 
another  lode,  heavy  in  iron  pyrites,  to  the  west  of  Womack's  vein,  located  a  claim  which 
he  called  the  El  Dorado.  It  was  recorded  a  few  days  later,  and  in  the  certificate  the  dis- 
trict was  called,  for  the  first  time,  by  the  name  which  it  now  bears. 

II.     THE  ROMANCE  OF  THE  INDEPENDENCE  AND  PORTLAND   MINES. 

In  May,  Frisbee  and  De  la  Vergne  happened  to  be  at  Colorado  Springs  and  met  W. 
S.  Stratton,  to  whom  they  showed  certain  assays  of  ores  brought  down  by  them  from 
Cripple  Creek.  Stratton,  in  the  intervals  of  his  occupation  as  builder,  had  been  prospect- 
ing in  different  parts  of  Colorado  for  fully  twenty  years  previous  to  this  date.  After  the 
meeting  with  De  la  Vergne  and  Frisbee  he  went  to  Cripple  Creek  and  began  to  look  over 
the  district.  Toward  the  middle  of  June  he  was  Induced  by  William  Fernay  to  do  some 
prospecting  on  what  is  now  called  Battle  Mountain.  Next  day  he  descended  the  hillside 
and  came  upon  a  big  outcrop  of  granite.  It  was  the  Independence  vein,  which  had  been 
seen  by  many,  miners  as  well  as  cattlemen,  to  be  condemned  by  all  of  them  as  worthless 
granite.  Stratton  did  as  the  others  had  done.  On  examining  the  outcrop  he  remarked 
the  absence  of  any  metallic  sulphides  or  of  vein-quartz  such  as  he  had  been  accustomed 
to  in  his  previous  experience,  and  he  therefore  concluded  that  it  was  unlikely  looking 
rock.  He  disregarded  it,  but  not  irretrievably.  Several  days  later  he  went  to  Colorado 
Springs  with  several  samples  which  he  thought  might  indicate  the  position  of  the  lode, 
the  existence  of  which  he  had  been  led  to  suspect  from  the  fact  that  the  loose  material  all 
over  that  part  of  Battle  Mountain  yielded  gold  on  panning.  The  samples  gave  low  results. 
It  suddenly  occurred  to  him  that  the  granite  outcrop,  which  stood  out  so  boldly  upon  the 
grass-covered  hill-slope,  must  be  the  lode  he  had  been  searching  for.  Acting  on  the  im- 
pulse he  took  a  horse  forthwith  and  rode  to  the  spot.  On  arrival  he  pegged  out  two 
claims,  the  Washington  and  the  Independence.  Thus  did  he  celebrate  the  Fourth  of  July, 
1891.  I  doubt  if  ever  a  man  celebrated  a  national  holiday  to  better  purpose.  On  the  27th 
of  April.  1S99,  he  sold  the  mine  for  ?10. 000,000.    Such  is  the  romance  of  mining! 

The  story  of  the  Independence  mine  is  well  known.  That  of  its  neighbor,  the  Port- 
land, has  not  been  told  so  often,  but  it  is  equally  interesting.  The  dramatis  personse  are 
John  Harnan,  James  Doyle  and  James  F.  Burns,  and  to  them  must  be  added,  later  on  in 
the  story,  W.  S.  Stratton,  also.  John  Harnan,  a  native  of  Pennsylvania,  was  an  expe- 
rienced coal  miner  when  he  first  went  prospecting  in  Idaho  and  Montana.  From  the  north- 
west he  worked  his  way,  subsequently,  to  Colorado.  Later  on  he  was  employed  in  digging 
trenches  at  Woodland  Park,  from  which  place  he  walked  into  Cripple  Creek.  Fortune 
was  adverse  for  a  time,  he  could  not  get  employment  for  several  weeks  and  was  about  to 
leave  in  disappointment  when  he  met  Stratton.  who  had  just  begun  to  open  up  the  pros- 
pect on  Battle  Mountain  which  became  the  Independence  mine.  He  remained  with  Strat- 
ton for  several  months,  doing  the  cooking  for  ten  men,  besides  his  work  as  a  miner. 
When  he  had  accumulated  $300  he  decided  to  start  prospecting  on  his  own  account.  On 
his  way  up  the  hill  behind  Stratton's  mine  he  stopped  at  a  log  cabin  where  he  found 
Burns,  who,  just  at  that  moment,  was  in  a  very  discouraged  mood.     Doyle  was  absent  at 

16 


Colorado  Springs.  He  and  Burns  owned  a  fractional  claim,  covering  one-sixth  of  an  acre, 
which  Doyle  had  located  on  January  Tl,  1S92.  It  had  been  christened  the  Portland,  and 
upon  it  they  had  been  working  without  success  lor  several  months.  Haruan,  in  a  joking 
way,  asked  Burns  why  he  did  not  make  a  mine  of  it.  The  latter  retorted  that  he  and 
Doyle  would  take  him  in  as  a  partner,  giving  him  one-third  of  their  holding,  if  he  suc- 
ceeded in  finding  pay  ore.  lie  went  to  work  forthwith.  These  three  men  were  typical  of 
the  gold-seekers  then  scattering  over  the  Cripple  Creek  hills.  Harnan,  as  has  been  stated, 
was  an  experienced  prospector  and  miner,  with  an  inquiring  turn  of  mind,  and  had  some 
idea  of  the  lode-structure  on  Battle  Mountain.  Doyle  had  been  carpenter's  apprentice,  and, 
later,  superintendent  of  irrigation  at  Colorado  Springs.  Burns  had  served  as  engineer 
in  the  sugar  plantations  of  Louisiana,  previous  to  working  as  pipefitter,  at  Colorado 
Springs,  also. 

Ten  days  after  the  above  partnership  was  inaugurated  Harnan  broke  into  the  top 
of  the  bonanza  of  the  Portland  mine.  The  shaft  was  already  down  a  little  over  twenty 
feet,  but  it  had  been  sunk  nearly  alongside  the  vein.  Haruan  put  in  a  cross-cut  at  six 
feet  below  the  surface  and  struck  it  rich.  The  ore  showed  tree  gold,  but,  at  this  time, 
the  claim  was  not  patented  and,  on  account  of  the  claim-jumping  which  was  general  in 
the  early  days  of  the  district,  the  three  owners  were  afraid  to  let  the  fact  of  the  discovery 
become  known.  So  they  removed  their  ore  by  night,  two  of  them  sacking  it  underground, 
while  the  third  stood  on  guard  at  the  surface  to  warn  them  of  the  approach  of  a  passer-by. 
The  ore  was  carried  by  stealth  to  the  cabin  and  then,  at  intervals,  one  of  them  would  strap 
a  sack  of  it  to  his  shoulders  and  trudge  away  by  night  to  Colorado  Springs,  thirty-five 
miles  distant,  where,  after  sufficient  had  been  accumulated,  it  was  consigned  to  the  smelt- 
ers. In  this  manner  they  made  enough  money  to  pay  for  supplies  and  tools  while  push- 
ing ahead  with  the  development  of  the  mine. 

By  and  by  they  decided  to  do  business  on  a  larger  scale  and  arranged  to  make  a  big 
shipment  of  ore.  A  wagon  was  brought  up  beside  the  dump  and  loaded,  but  rain  had 
lately  fallen,  and  they  got  into  difliculties.  The  wagon,  with  the  first  lot  of  ore,  broke 
down  a  few  hundred  yards  from  the  mine;  they  covered  it  with  sacks  so  that  no  one  was 
any  the  wiser,  but  in  making  the  second  shipment  they  were  more  careful  and  used  rough- 
locks  on  the  wagon,  with  the  result  that  tell-tale  tracks  could  be  seen  all  the  way  down 
the  hill  from  the  shaft.  The  prospectors  on  adjacent  claims  saw  the  marks  and  came  to 
their  own  conclusions.  Straightway  the  Portland  became  besieged  by  adverse  litigation 
with  those  who  were  working  adjoining  mines. 

Harnan,  Doyle  and  Burns  had  pegged  out  several  other  claims  at  a  distance  from 
the  original  Portland.  When  they  became  involved  in  litigation  they  found  that  the 
richer  their  ore  the  more  they  became  harassed  by  their  neighbors.  They  decided  to 
consult  Stratton,  who  was  going  ahead  successfully  with  the  development  of  his  own  mine, 
lower  down  on  the  hill.  Stratton  had  begun  to  believe  that  Battle  Mountain  was  rich 
ground  and  he  agreed  to  back  them.  He  did.  There  were  at  that  time  27  different  law- 
suits filed  against  the  Portland  claims.  Stratton  helped  them  to  buy  out  some  of  the 
contending  interests,  to  warn  off  others,  and  so,  by  the  use  of  money  and  diplomacy,  en- 
abled them  to  effect  the  first  consolidation  which  comprised  over  a  hundred  acres  of 
ground.    Stratton  became  the  first  president  of  the  Portland  Gold  Mining  Company. 

In  1894  an  option  was  given  on  the  property  for  $200,000.  It  was  not  taken  up.  A 
dividend  of  $70,000  was  declared.  The  ore  was  discovered  to  be  coming  from  disputed 
ground.  An  injunction  was  obtained  and  further  extraction  was  prevented.  The  owners 
of  the  Portland  found  rich  ore  in  another  part  of  their  property  and  were  thus  enabled 
to  pay  the  dividend.  Every  time  an  option  was  given,  a  part  of  their  property  came  into 
conflict  with  the  territory  of  those  around  them.  This  was  slowly  overcome  by  their  ac- 
quiring more  acreage  by  purchase.  The  great  richness  of  the  mine  gave  them  the  neces- 
sary funds.  In  the  meantime  Stratton  was  buying  up  ground  north  of  the  Independence 
group,  and  the  owners  of  the  Portland  were  extending  their  territory  southward,  so  that 
the  two  i)roperlios  finally  adjoined,  and  upon  one  side,  at  least,  they  became  clear  of  liti- 
gation. Then  other  troubles  began.  They  quarreled  with  Stratton.  Lawsuits  were 
started.  .Vbout  that  lime  the  Exploration  Company,  of  London,  commenced  negotiations 
for  the  Portland,  and  Mr.  Hamilton  Smith  came  to  examine.  He  found  that  there  were 
conflicts  between  Stratton  and  the  Portland  Company.  There  were  nearly  thirty  suits 
and  counter-suits.  A  ftirther  consolidation  was  the  only  safe  recourse.  The  option  was 
made  to  include  the  disp\itfd  claims.  The  price  was  ?2.2.''i0.ono.  of  whii-b  .$1,000,000  cov- 
ered the  seventeen  disputeil  claims,  fifteen  of  them  belonging  to  Stratton.  The  deal  fell 
through  because  the  enRinoor  who  examined  the  property  failed  to  Unci  ori'  enou.gh  in 
sight  to  justify  the  completion  of  the  transaction. 

17 


The  shares  of  the  Portland  were  then  selling  for  54  cents,  and  the  dividends  were 
at  the  rate  of  1  per  cent,  per  month  on  an  issued  capital  of  $2,250,000,  this  being  equivalent 
to  $270,000  per  year.  However,  although  the  sale  to  the  Exploration  Company  did  not 
mature,  the  consolidation  was  effected,  and  within  a  month  of  the  event  the  value  of  the 
group,  as  quoted  on  the  share  market,  rose  to  $4,000,000.  Since  then  there  has  been  no 
litigation  worthy  of  mention,  and  the  property  has  been  judiciously  enlarged  until  it 
covers  206  acres.  The  shares  of  the  Portland  sell  to-day  for  $3.00,  equivalent  to  a  value  of 
$9,000,000  for  the  mine.  The  dividends  to  date  aggregate  $2,977,080.  The  story  speaks 
well  for  the  grit  of  the  three  Irish-Americans  who  made  a  claim  of  less  than  an  acre  the 
stepping  stone  to  a  magnificent  property  covering  200  acres.  It  is  one  of  the  many  ro- 
mances which  have  characterized  the  growth  of  Cripple  Creek. 

III.     SITUATION    AND   APPEARANCE   OF   THE    REGION. 

The  known  gold-bearing  portion  of  the  district  covers  an  area  of  about  ten  square 
miles,  occupying  a  group  of  hills  which  rise  from  300  feet  to  1,000  feet  above  the  general 
surface,  and  attain  an  average  altitude  of  10,500  to  11,000  feet  above  the  sea.  The  drain- 
age of  the  district  flows  into  the  Arkansas  river,  whose  gateway  into  the  plains  is  at  Canon 
City.  The  general  slope  is  southward,  and  the  sunny  aspect  incident  to  this  configura- 
tion of  the  surface  has  caused  the  hillsides  to  be  clad  with  sufficient  grass,  and  enabled 
them,  at  one  time,  despite  the  high  altitude,  to  yield  good  pasturage. 

Few  mining  camps  have  so  picturesque  a  situation,  and  Cripple  Creek  is  further 
notalile  because  the  picturesque  is  not  obtained  at  any  sacrifice  of  accessibility.  The 
beauty  of  the  panoramic  view  to  be  obtained  from  most  of  the  mines  is  not  due  to  mere 
ruggedness  or  to  the  ordinary  grandeur  of  a  mountainous  country;  it  is  traceable  to  a  posi- 
tion upon  the  slopes  flanking  Pike's  Peak,  which  permits  of  an  uninterrupted  view  of 
snow-clad  ranges  a  hundred  miles  away.  It  is  a  panorama  rather  than  a  picture.  In 
front  are  hills  like  giants  tumbled  in  troubled  sleep,  whose  feet  touch  the  plateau  of  the 
South  Park.  To  the  left  are  the  Arkansas  hills  that  confine  the  river  of  the  same  name  to 
its  tumultous  gorge;  further  south  is  the  Wet  Mountain  valley,  and  beyond  that  the  long, 
magnificent,  serrated  range  of  the  Sangre  de  Cristo,  telling  of  the  shattered  dream  of 
Spanish  conquest,  of  which  no  trace  now  survives,  save  in  the  occasional  name  of  a  moun- 
tain or  a  stream.  These  remind  a  practical  age  of  the  priestly  warriors  and  the  warlike 
priests  who  once  sought  to  win  the  golden  treasures  of  a  land,  the  aboi-iginal  people  of 
which  have  almost  passed  away.  The  wind  blows  the  snow  of  the  Sangre  de  Cristo  into 
streaming  banners,  and  the  clouds,  like  marshalled  armies  in  retreat,  fade  across  the  far 
horizon.  Turning  northward,  the  valley  of  the  Arkansas  can  be  seen  dividing  the  moun- 
tains which  overlook  Leadville.  Further  to  the  right  are  the  beautiful  Kenosha  hills,  at 
the  head  waters  of  the  Platte,  and  beyond  them  are  further  peaks  ennobled  with  coronets 
of  snow.  The  details  of  the  view^  are  lost  in  the  vastness  of  it.  which  impresses  the  ob- 
server no  less  because  he  may  be  surrounded  by  a  noisy  murmur  of  trains,  steam  whistles, 
wagons  and  machinery,  which  tell  of  the  activity  going  on  about  him.  Nor  should  he 
feel  annoyance  with  his  surroundings,  for  there  is  a  nobility  of  human  endeavor  and 
successftil  achievement  no  less  impressive  than  the  beauty  of  the  snowclad  peak  and 
sunlit  plain. 

The  physical  condition  of  the  surface  had  much  to  do  with  the  checkered  history 
of  the  district.  Owing  to  a  southern  exposure  and  the  comparative  absence  of  a  protect- 
ing growth  of  trees,  the  rocks,  which  mostly  possess  a  fissile  structure,  have  been  shat- 
tered by  frost  so  as  to  overspread  the  solid  formation  with  a  thickness  of  debris,  to  which 
the  tufted  grass  has  given  a  further  covering.  Water,  owing  to  its  expansion  between  4° 
C.  and  the  freezing  point,  is  a  ceaselessly  destructive  agent.  When  it  penetrates  the 
cracks  and  crannies  of  the  rocks  it  serves  as  a  wedge,  shattering  their  stony  substance 
with  resistless  power.  The  heat  of  the  day  and  the  cold  of  night,  the  warmth  of  sum- 
mer and  the  snows  of  winter,  alike  aid  this  disintegrating  process.  A  high  altitude  and 
a  southerly  slope  afford  the  conditions  most  favorable  to  such  action.  Thus  it  came  about 
that  the  district  of  Cripple  Creek  is  largely  covered  with  the  shattered  rock  which  the 
miners  call  "wash,"  incorrectly  however,  because  it  is  not  composed  of  rounded  water- 
worn  material,  but  of  angular  fragments  which,  if  not  In  place,  are  not  far  from  their 
original  position,  having  slid  down  the  hill-slope  in  obedience  to  the  laws  of  gravity. 
This  shattering  of  the  rock  surface  has  caused  one  very  important  and.  in  Cripple  Creek's 
case,  far-reaching  result.  There  are  no  outcrops.  Ordinarily,  the  veins  of  gold  ore  stand 
above  the  surface  with  that  boldness  which  caused  the  Australian  miner  to  term  them 
"reefs."  and  the  Californian  to  call  them  "ledges."  The  ore.  as  will  be  seen  when  discuss- 
ing the  .geology  of  the  gold-field,  is  essentially  altered  and  enriched  rock,  comparatively 


18 


devoid  oi'  the  quiirtz  composing  the  typical  lodes  of  other  districts  in  America  and  Aus- 
tralia, and  consequently  it  shares  with  the  rock  the  tendency  to  undergo  easy  shattering. 
Solid  vein-stone,  therefore,  rarely  survives  amid  the  general  disintegration,  the  outcrop 
of  the  Independence  being  a  very  notable  exception. 

The  first  discoveries  in  mining  are  usually  due  to  the  linding  of  outcrops;  in  the 
absence  of  them,  deep  explorations  are  seldom  undertaken.  IJeep  ravines  often  afford 
good  natural  sections  of  the  rock  formation.  The  Cripple  Creek  district  was  as  deficient 
in  the  one  feature  as  in  the  other.  The  absence  of  steep  declivities  and  abrupt  rock-faces 
was  characteristic  of  the  pastoral  landscape,  and  the  angular  debris  covering  the  rounded 
hillsides  made  digging  difficult.  For  these  reasons,  although  the  district  was  traversed 
by  many  thousands  of  prospectors  at  successive  epochs,  the  existence  of  rich  lodes  was 
not  surmised  until  a  very  recent  date,  and  many  experienced  miners  failed  of  success  at 
first  because  they  encountered  conditions  unfamiliar  to  them.  Among  the  early  arrivals, 
in  1S91  and  1892,  were  the  miners  from  Gilpin,  Leadville  and  Aspen,  men  of  knowledge 
in  their  own  habitat,  but  unable  to  understand  the  peculiar  vein-structure  which  they 
saw  at  Cripple  Creek.  It  was  the  adverse  opinion  of  these  men.  rather  than  the  views  of 
geologists  or  scientific  observers,  which  injured  the  reputation  of  the  gold-field  in  the 
beginning  of  its  development. 

IV.     THE   GEOLOGY   OF   THE   GOLD    FIELD. 

The  Cripple  Creek  district  occupies  the  grouiid-lloor  of  a  volcano,  the  superstructure 
of  which  has  been  removed  by  erosion.  This  interesting  fact  is  responsible  for  many  of 
the  peculiar  features  of  the  region.  The  mines  are  situated  amid  a  complex  of  volcanic 
rocks  lying  upon  the  southern  slope  of  the  mass  of  granite  whose  culminating  point  is 
Pike's  Peak.  These  volcanic  rocks  found  a  passage  through  the  underlying  granite  dur- 
ing the  comparatively  recent  period  known  to  science  as  the  Miocene,  an  early  part  of  the 
last  three  great  subdivisions  of  geological  time.  The  granite  was  formed  in  the  very 
beginning;  out  of  the  substance  of  it  the  foundations  of  Pike's  Peak  were  upbuilt  and  the 
crest  of  the  mountain  was  chiseled.  It  is  the  basal  rock  of  the  region  and  at  one  time 
probably  formed  the  bed  of  the  ancient  seas  which  received  the  sediments  now  composing 
the  sandstones  and  limestones  Hanking  the  Front  Range.  The  granite  is  of  a  particular 
type,  known,  because  of  its  prevalence  in  this  locality,  as  the  Pike's  Peak  granite.  It  is 
coarsely  crystalline,  and  its  three  ingredients,  the  minerals  quartz,  mica  and  feldspar,  are 
easily  distinguishable  by  the  unaided  eye.  A  beautiful  red  tint,  mainly  due  to  the  color 
of  the  feldspar,  characterizes  it  and  renders  it  recognizable  by  the  least  observant. 

Long  subsequent  to  the  formation  of  the  granite,  and  also  that  of  the  sedimentary 
rocks  which  were  laid  down  upon  it,  there  began  an  elevatory  movement  supposed  to  be 
traceable  to  the  readjustment  of  the  earth's  exterior  to  its  cooling  ami  shrinking  interior. 
Accompanying  this  movement  there  occurred  a  general  fracturing  of  the  rocks  thus  af- 
fected, so  as  to  permit  volcanic  matter  to  force  a  way  upward,  after  the  manner  of  water 
rising  through  cracks  in  the  overlying  ice.  The  volcanic  matter  thus  brought  to  the  sur- 
face of  the  granite  slowly  filled  the  hollows  of  its  uneven  surface,  and  spread  over  a  large 
area  since  then  diminished  by  the  patient  forces  of  atmospheric  erosion,  which,  during 
the  long  period  of  time  separating  the  Miocene  from  the  present  day.  have  slowly  sculp- 
tured the  hills  and  valleys  of  the  district. 

A  glance  at  the  geological  map  of  the  gold  field  exhibits  a  great  variety  of  volcanic 
rocks.  The  principal  of  these  is  andesite  breccia.*  The  very  nature  of  the  breccia  sug- 
gests the  violence  of  the  volcanic  action  which  brought  it  to  the  surface  of  the  granite. 
The  miners  call  the  breccia  "porphyry"**  from  its  apparent  resemblance  to  the  rocks  of 
that  class  with  which  they  were  previously  familiar  in  the  Leadville  and  in  the  Gilptn 
county  mines.  The  porphyry  of  Leadville  Is  quartz-felslte;  that  of  Gilpin  is  quartzande- 
site.     Porphyry  is  an  adjective-noun  and  refers  to  the  structure  rather  than  to  the  com- 


•  "Andesite"  Is  derived  from  .\iu1ks,  the  mouiiialti  raiiKo  where  tills  rock  Is  especially 
prevalent.  "Breccia"  Is  a  word  of  Itiillriri  firlKln,  and  meiins  "broken."  It  la  a  term  applied  to 
rocks  which  are  made  up  of  fragmentary  material. 

••  "Porphyry"  comes  to  ua  tliroiiKh  the  Greek  word  "porphyni."  slRnlfylnfr  purple. 
It  was  first  used  to  rteslBnate  a  beautiful  rock  of  llils  type  which  the  Romans  olitalned  from 
the  quarries  of  Gcbcl  Dokhan,  on  the  shores  of  the  Red  sea.  This  original  "porphyry,"  called 
by  the  Itallana  "porlldo  rosso  antlco."  had,  according  to  ZIrkcl,  a  beautiful  blood-red  groiind- 
mass  speckled  with  small  snow-white  and  rose-red  crystals  of  feldspar.  Hut  the  llrst  meaning 
of  the  term,  which  depended  on  the  color,  has  long  been  lost  In  another  meaning,  which  refers 
to  the  structure.  A  rock  Is  a  "porphyry."  or.  more  correctly.  Is  "porphyrltlc,"  when  some 
peculiar  constituent  mineral  very  ofien  feldspar,  sli.nds  out  well  ilcMiiod  froin  tlio  (rcneial 
ground-mass,   as   In   the  Western   miners'    familiar   "bird's-eye  porphyry."

position  of  a  roclv,  so  tliat  there  is  "granite-porphyry,"  "diorite-porphyry,"  "andesite-por- 
phyry,"  etc.,  the  term  being  applied  to  rocks  of  igneous  origin  in  which  particular  min- 
erals are  distinguishable  amid  the  ground-mass  ot  the  rock  so  as  to  give  it  a  speckled 
appearance.  The  Cripple  Creek  breccia  has  this  appearance,  but  it  is  due  to  the  fact 
that  it  is  made  up  of  a  heterogeneous  mass  of  rock  particles  of  every  size,  from  the  most 
minute  powder  to  fragments  as  large  as  a  man's  head.  These  consist  mainly  of  andesite, 
but  the  other  rocks  are  also  included,  especially  near  the  edges  of  the  volcanic  vent.  Some 
of  this  material  is  mere  volcanic  dust,  called  "tu£f,"t  w-hich,  when  consolidated  under 
pressure  and  cemented  by  silicious  waters,  becomes  compacted  into  a  dense,  hard  sub- 
stance difficult  to  distinguish  from  a  true  crystalline  rock;  so  that  it  is  not  to  be  wondered 
that  the  miners  often  label  it  with  an  incorrect  name. 

The  breccia  lies  in  the  uneven  hollows  of  the  granite  and  probably  fills  a  large  part 
of  the  crater  formed  by  the  energies  of  the  volcano.     The  thickness  of  the  breccia  has  not 

been   proved,   nor  has  the  exact  posi- 
tion of  the  original  vent  of  the  volcano 
rlj   i.  been   discovered.      There   is   evidence, 

of  a  general  kind,  chiefly  in  the  com- 
position of  certain  masses  ot  eruptive 
rock,  which  indicates  that  there  were 
two  vents,  at  least — one  near  Goldfield 
and  the  other  near  Guyot  Hill.  The 
mine  workings  which  happen  to  be 
near  the  rim  of  the  central  basin  have 
penetrated  through  the  breccia  into 
the  underlying  granite.  A  depth  of 
over  1,000  feet  has  thus  been  proved 
by  the  sinking  of  shafts.  There  is, 
however,  evidence  to  indicate  that  the 
maximum  depth  of  the  breccia  forma- 
tion, in  the  vicinity  of  the  vent,  must 
be  several  times  1,000  feet. 

The  geological  map  and  the 
ideal  section  of  the  volcano  which  are 
presented  herewith,  will  illustrate  the 
geological  structure  of  the  district. 
See  Figs.  1  and  2. 

The  breccia  is  penetrated  and 
traversed  by  later  volcanic  rocks  of 
which  phonolitet  is  the  most  import- 
ant in  its  relation  to  the  occurrence 
of  ore.  Until  recent  years  phonolite 
was  not  known  as  a  rock  species  save 
as  forming  the  Wolf  rock  in  Cornwall, 
and,  therefore,  its  association  with 
great  mineral  wealth  at  Cripple  Creek 
has  been  one  of  the  most  interesting 
features  of  the  development  of  that 
district.  The  phonolite  occurs  for  the 
most  part  in  dykes;  that  is  to  say.  in 
approximately  vertical  sheets  which 
traverse  the  older  formations,  the  granite  and  the  breccia,  in  various  directions,  and  are 
probably  united,  at  depths  far  beyond  the  reach  of  human  exploration,  to  larger  masses  of 
rock  having  a  similar  composition,  just  as  the  cracks  in  ice  are  filled  with  a  liquid  similar 
to  that  beneath. 

These  dykes  follow  such  lines  of  weakness  in  the  older  rocks  as  were  developed 
into  fractures  at  a  time  when  the  rocks  underwent  strains,  the  latter  being  considered  to

hammer.  This  is  due  to  its  hardness  and  close  texture.  It  is  also  called  "clinkstone."  The

Ije  Ihe  result  of  the  slow  wrinkling  of  the  earth's  crust  due  to  its  readjustment  over  a 
cooling  and  shrinking  interior. 

The  phonolite  rose  in  a  mohile,  if  not  molleu,  couditiou  through  the  fractures  thus 
formed,  after  the  manner  of  water  rising  through  the  cracks  in  the  overlying  ice.  The 
structural  conditions  thus  created  gave  a  direction  to  the  subsequent  circulation  of 
underground  waters.  The  deposition  of  ore  is  the  result  of  such  circulation,  the  under- 
ground waters  being  the  vehicle  by  which  the  metals  are  leached  out  of  the  rocks  at 
one  place  and  laid  down  at  another  in  such  a  concentrated  form  and  within  such  a 
distance  of  the  surface  as  to  render  them  valuable  to  man.  The  place  of  ultimate 
origin  is  surmised,  but  vaguely,  as  being  deeper  than  our  deepest  mines,  and  the 
place  of  deposition  of  the  ore  is  not  always  the  place  where  the  miner  finds  it.  Lines 
of  weakness,  healed  and  strengthened  by  the  cementing  effects  of  hot  igneous  rock, 
in  the  form  of  dykes,  afford  new  lines  of  lesser  resistance,  parallel  to  the  old  ones  and 
along  the  contact  of  the  two  rocks 
of  unlike  hardness  and  texture.  For 
this  reason  ore-bearing  veins  so 
often  accompany  dykes.  They  do 
so  at  Cripple  Creek. 

It  is  well  to  begin  the  discus- 
sion of  a  subject  by  defining  the 
terms  employed.  A  "lode"  is  some- 
thing which  leads  a  miner,  the 
words  "lode"  and  "lead"  having  an 
identical  Saxon  origin.  Australian 
miners  designate  a  small,  continu- 
ous vein  connecting  larger  ore 
bodies  as  a  "leader."  "Lode"  is 
therefore  a  comprehensive  term 
covering  many  diverse  forms  of  ore 
occurrence.  The  word  "vein"  has  a 
more  restricted  usage,  and  describe.s 
those  lodes  in  which  the  ore  is  sup- 
posed to  occur  in  a  tabular  form,  oc- 
cupying continuous  planes  which 
are  approximately  vertical,  and  tra- 
versing the  rocks  like  interminable 
sheets  of  paper  set  on  edge;  that  is, 
they   are    supposed    to     fill    simple 

fractures  made  in  a  perfectly  homogeneous  material.  This  term  was  originally 
borrowed  from  the  human  anatomy,  and  the  oldest  writers  have  used  the  simile  of  the 
rock  veined  with  the  precious  metal.  Nature  does  not  recognize  the  definitions  of  the 
technical  dictionary,  and  in  mining  practice  it  has  been  found  that  regularity  of 
structure  is  the  exception  rather  than  the  rule.  The  geologist  of  fifty  years  ago.  when 
the  science  of  geology  was  more  the  product  of  the  library  and  the  laboratory  than 
of  actual  observation  underground,  conceived  the  ore  as  having  filled  gaping  fissures 
in  the  rock,  comparable  to  the  crevasses  of  a  glacier;  and  when  he  had  noted  the 
dissimilarity  between  the  ore  and  the  encasing  rock,  he  imagined  the  former  to  have 
been  due  to  an  upwelling  of  molten  metallic  matter.  The  Ideas  of  the  present  day  are 
still  slightly  tainted  by  the  imaginations  of  the  past.  .tikI  the  terms  of  an  obsolete 
philosophy  continue  to  cling  to  our  nomenclature. 

Modern  investigations,  based  on  accurate  chemical  knowledge,  as  well  as  geolog- 
ical observation,  have  all  gone  to  prove  that  gold  ores  are  not  the  |)rnduct  of  direct 
volcanic  action,  but  that  they  have  been  conveyed  to  the  place  where  the  miner  finds 
them  through  llie  medium  of  water,  the  metals  having  been  dissolved.  In  various 
chemical  combinations,  by  underground  solutions,  and  precipitated  along  those  frac- 
tures In  the  rocks  whi<h  have  been  first  lines  of  least  resistance,  and  then  lines  of 
maximum  circulation.  The  mineral  solutions  can  not  have  come  from  Indefinite  depths, 
because  the  increasing  pressure  encountered  would  finally  tend  to  close  the  channels 
of  circulation,  and  also  becauFC  the  Increase  of  heat  (1°  F.  for  every  forty-eight  fei-t

subject,  becomes  dissociated  Into  Its  constituent  gases.     It  Is  considered   probable,  from

the  evidence  yielded  by  certain  classes  of  lodes,  particularly  those  of  nickel  ores,  that 
volcanic  action  serves  to  bring  the  metals  from  these  great  depths  to  that  zone  of  the 
earth's  exterior  wherein  solvent  waters  can  circulate.  The  experience  of  gold  mining 
corroborates  this  view,  the  association  of  volcanic  rocks  with  bodies  of  valuable  ore 
having  become  almost  proverbial. 

It  is  not  surprising,  therefore,  that  this  very  fact  has  tended  to  cause  a  confusion 
of  ideas  between  volcanic  action  and  lode  formation. 

In  a  railway  cutting  between  the  towns  of  Cripple  Creek  and  Anaconda  there  is  a 
bit  of  nature's  testimony  which  will  be  of  service  in  getting  a  clear  idea  of  the  essential 
characteristics  of  gold-bearing  veins  as  compared  with  dykes  of  volcanic  rock.  The 
accompanying    drawings    will    help    the    description.      In    Fig.    3    there    is    afforded    an

excellent  illustration  of  simple  dyke  structure.  The  dyke  in  this  case  is  composed  of 
basalt;  it  is  from  nine  to  fifteen  inches  in  width,  and  can  be  easily  traced  as  an  irreg- 
ular dark  band  traversing  the  coarse-grained  pink  granite.  The  dyke  is  very  well  de- 
fined, exhibiting  clear-cut  lines  of  demarcation  from  the  enclosing  granite,  and  it  is 
evident  from  the  contour  of  the  walls  that  it  occupies  a  fault-flssure.  The  outline  of 
the  east  wall  corresponds  exactly  to  that  of  the  western  one,  the  movement  of  the 
latter  having  been  upward,  causing  a  displacement  equal  to  about  fourteen  inches.  It 
is  a  clean-cut  fissure  in  the  granite,  filled  with  foreign  material,  a  basic  volcanic  rock, 
which  probably  welled  upward  in  a  mobile  condition,  filling  the  fissure  as  it  was 
formed,  so  as  at  no  time  to  permit  of  a  vacuity.  Compare  this  with  Fig.  4,  which  is  a 
sketch  of  a  gold-bearing  vein,  situated  at  a  distance  of  a  few  yards  from  the  dyke 
illustrated  in  Fig.  3.  The  country  is  the  same,  viz..  granite,  but  in  this  instance  the 
vein-filling  is  not  foreign  matter,  but  essentially  rock  in  place;  it  is  granite,  altered 
indeed,  but  easily  recognizable,  in  spite  of  the  kaolinization  of  the  feldspar  and  the 
partial  removal  of  the  mica.  There  are  no  clearly-defined  boundaries  between  the 
decomposed  vein-matter  and  the  enclosing  country,  nor  is  there  any  evidence  of  fault- 
ing. The  lines  of  fracture  shown  in  the  granite  are  the  joints  of  that  rock,  and  those 
which  are  observable  in  the  vein  itself  are  not  continuous,  but  rather  a  closely-knit 
series  of  little  breaks,  which  have  afforded  a  passage  for  a  liquid  more  subtle  than  the 
basalt.  The  vein  occupies  a  line  of  maximum  porosity  along  which  water,  more  search- 
ing than  any  molten  lava,  has  found  a  way,  decomposing  the  soluble  ingredients  of  the 
rock,  and  depositing  a  minute  quantity   of  gold,   insufficient   to   make   the   decomposed 


22 


granite  of  tlie  vein  differ  essentially  from  the  outer  country,  but  rendering  one  gold- 
bearing  ore.  and  leaving  the  other  barren  rock. 

Here  we  have  a  dyke  compared  with  a  vein  and  volcanic  agencies  brought  into 
strong  contrast  with  aqueous  action.  The  faulting  along  the  lissure  followed  by  the 
dyke  is  easily  seen,  but  no  evidences  of  such  movement  can  be  discerned  along  the 
seam  of  altered  granite,  which  forms  the  gold  vein.  Nevertheless  there  must  have  been 
some  movement,  however  slight,  because  a  crack  or  break,  not  made  evident,  can  be 
considered  as  only  latent,  until  the  two  faces  of  it  are  caused,  by  that  very  shifting,  so 
to  disagree  as  to  produce  the  irregularities  which,  when  linked  together,  form  the 
visible  line  of  fracture.  Even  the  joints  in  the  solid  granite  require  such  an  explana- 
tion, and  however  insignificant  the  shifting  may  be,  it  marks  the  adjustment  of  the  rock 
to  the  effects  of  stresses,  traceable  in  this  case,  probably,  to  the  volcanic  energies 
wliii  h  extruded  the  large  masses  of  breccia  forming  the  characteristic  feature  of  the 
geology  of  Cripple  Creek.  Permit  me  to  repeat,  however  insignificant  this  shifting  may 
have  been,  it  made  the  rocks  pervious  to  underground  mineral-bearing  solutions,  and 
where  it  occurred  it  developed  a  series  of  united  passages,  which  afforded  a  line  of 
maximum  porosity,  permitting  the  circulation  of  gold-bearing  waters. 

The  mines  afford  illustrations  of  a  great  diversity  of  lode-structure.  This  di- 
versity is  traceable  to  the  complexity  of  the  enclosing  rocks.  The  variations  in  ore- 
occurrence  due  to  this  fact  explain  the  vicissitudes  which  marlied  the  early  history  of 
the  district,  and  the  recognition  of  them  should  contribute  toward  the  success  of  future 
exploratory  work. 

Many  of  the  lodes  are  essentially  dykes  which  have  undergone  fracturing,  thereby 
affording  an  opportunity  for  their  impregnation  with  gold  through  the  agency  of  circu- 
lating solutions.  The  Moose  vein  will  exemplify  this  type.  The  accompanying  sketch. 
Fig.  5,  was  made  at  the  :!.')0-foot  level.     From  D  to  F  is  the  width  of  the  dyke,  which  is

The  pay-ore  extends  from  \i  to  P,  with  a  width  of  ten  inches,  and  is  distinguished  ifom

feature  of  Ibis  and  similar  lodes,  experience  having  also  shown  that  there  is  reason  to 
expect  the  lode  to  consist  of  rich  ore  when  it  becomes  threaded  with  minute  seams  fol- 
lowing these  lines  of  fracture.  This  feature  can  be  described  as  a  sheeting  of  the  rock; 
it  is  a  very  imporlanl  f.iclor  iu  ore  deposition. 


23 


An  example  of  the  latter  is  exhibited  in  Fig.  6,  which  represents  a  lode  in  the  Moon- 
Anchor  mine.  This  type  of  ore  occurrence  is  thoroughly  characteristic  of  the  mines  in 
that  part  of  the  district  known  as  Gold  Hill.  The  breccia  is  fine-grained.  The  partings 
are  about  a  quarter  of  an  inch  apart.  They  are  followed  by  minute  seams  of  red,  gritty 
clay  in  which  the  tellurides  can  be  distinguished.  The  individual  seams  are  united  by 
transverse  impregnations  which  collectively  make  a  pocket  or  small  body  of  ore,  in  which 
it  is  not  unusual  to  encounter  patches  consisting  of  an  almost  solid  aggregate  of  crystal- 
line sylvanite.  The  sheeted  structure  dies  out  into  the  enclosing  country  by  the  process 
of  a  gradual  widening  of  the  space  intervening  between  each  successive  parting. 

The  occurrence  represented  in  Fig.  7  is  a  peculiarly 
p.       rn  suggestive  illustration  of  the  manner  in  which  a  gold-vein 

'^J-3-  ^  may  be  formed.     It  exhibits  the  Independence  lode  in  the 

Washington  claim,  which  is  a  portion  of  Stratton's  Inde- 
pendence property.  The  lode,  which  further  north  traverses 
the  breccia  and  is  closely  associated  with  a  phonolite  dyke, 
is  seen  here  as  a  band  of  decomposed  granite  sub-divided 
equally  by  a  central  thread  of  quartz.  The  ore  is  essentially 
granite.  The  enclosing  rock  is  also  granite.  The  portion 
AC,  DF  is  four  feet  wide  and  carries  a  little  over  three 
ounces  of  gold  per  ton.  The  width  of  four  feet  which  car- 
ries gold,  and  is  therefore  ore,  has  no  parting  or  wall  sepa- 
rating it  from  the  outer  rock  which  carries  none,  and  is 
therefore  regarded  as  waste,  but  it  is  distinguished  from  the 
latter  in  many  ways.  The  outer  granite  is  fresh  and  unal- 
tered, exhibiting  its  constituent  minerals,  white  quartz, 
black  biotite  mica  and  pink  orthoclase  feldspar,  with  great 
clearness.  The  inner  gold-bearing  rock  is  much  altered  by 
decomposition  and  replacement;  the  orthoclase  alone  ap- 
pears to  have  survived  the  general  metamorphism;  the  mica 
has  been  removed  and,  in  its  stead,  chlorite  can  be  seen  in 
green  patches;  the  original  crystalline  quartz  is  largely  gone 
and  the  presence  of  purple  fluorite  suggests  that  hydrofluoric 
acid  may  have  been  a  primary  agent  in  that  removal;  sec- 
ondary hydrous  quartz  fills  many  of  the  interstices  between 
the  crystalline  constituents  of  the  rock;  in  iron-stained  cav- 
ities free  gold  can  be  seen  by  the  aid  of  a  pocket  lens  and  the 
gold  is  observed  to  have  the  dark,  lusterless  appearance 
which  characterizes  it  when  derived  from  the  oxidation  of 
tellurides.  The  entire  width  of  this  gold-bearing,  decom- 
posed granite  is  heavily  iron-stained  by  the  oxides  resulting  from  the  disintegration  of 
the  small  crystals  of  iron  pyrites  which  can  be  seen  in  an  unaltered  condition  dissem- 
inated throughout  the  same  lode  at  lower  levels.  In  the  centre  of  the  band  of  ore  there  is 
a  distinct  parting,  BE,  which  is  separated  from  a  persistent  thread  of  white  quartz,  only 
about  a  quarter  of  an  inch  in  width,  by  a  slight  selvage  of  red  clay.  At  a  distance  the 
lode  appears  as  a  distinct  broad  band  of  iron-stained  granite,  and  it  is  only  by  closer  ex- 
amination that  the  boundaries  of  it  are  seen  to  consist,  not  of  "walls"  or  of  any  such  evi- 
dent demarcation,  but  merely  of  a  transition  from  decomposed  into  undecomposed  granite. 
The  lodes  which  have  been  described  will  exemplify  the  extraordinary  variety  of 
structure  to  be  observed  in  the  district.  Much  evidence  has  been  accumulated  in  support 
of  the  most  recent  theories  of  ore  deposition  which  are  based  upon  a  study  of  the  under- 
ground water-circulation.  An  idea  has  been  voiced  by  those  not  having  authority,  such 
as  the  scribes  of  the  daily  press,  that  Cripple  Creek,  both  in  its  earlier  stages  and  now, 
has  set  at  naught  the  accepted  teachings  of  geological  science.  It  is  a  fantasy,  born  of  the 
necessity  of  filling  newspaper  space.  On  the  contrary,  it  has  always  been  insisted,  by 
the  writer  among  others,  that  no  mining  region  yields  so  much  corroborative  evidence  in 
support  of  those  views  on  ore  deposition  which  have  won  general  acceptation,  namely: 
that  the  formation  of  ore  is  due  to  the  precipitation  of  the  matter  carried  in  solution  by 
underground  waters  which  have  circulated  in  obedience  to  the  conditions  created  by  the 
structural  relations  of  the  rocks.

V.     THE   ORES    AND    MINERALS. 

The  gold,  the  search  for  which  is  the  basis  of  all  the  mining  activity,  occurs  cither 
in  a  native  condition  or  as  a  telluride.     It  is  found  distributed  among  the  interstices  of 


24 


the  rock,  lining  tlie  fractures  or  penetrating  the  substances  of  it  in  threads  of  varying 
minuteness.  In  lodes  traversing  the  granite,  the  gold,  or  the  tellurides  containing  it, 
will  be  scattered  amid  the  porous  cavities  due  to  the  removal  of  certain  more  soluble  por- 
tions of  the  rock;  in  phonolite,  the  values  will  be  found  more  frequently  along  fractures 
than  in  the  heart  of  it.  'Ihis  renders  the  last  mentioned  class  of  ore  very  difficult  of  esti- 
mation. In  the  andesite  breccia,  the  component  fragments  of  which  are  so  heterogeneous, 
the  physical  character  of  the  rock  varies  considerably,  and  the  gold  values  will  partake 
of  an  irregular  sporadic  distribution. 

In  the  early  days  of  the  district  many  blunders  were  caused  by  the  fact  that  the 
ores  are,  for  the  most  part,  essentially  altered  rock,  in  place,  impregnated  with  gold-bear- 
ing minerals  to  a  slight  extent  as  regards  percentage,  but  to  a  notable  degree  in  respect 
of  commercial  value.  The  comparative  scarcity  of  quartz  and  other  minerals  usually 
characteristic  of  gold  veins  puzzled  the  early  prospectors,  and  remains  to  this  day  a  feat- 
ure of  peculiar  interest.  In  1S93,  when  \V.  S.  Stratton,  the  owner  of  the  Independence, 
sent  several  carloads  of  rich  ore  from  his  mine  to  one  of  the  Denver  smelters,  the  officials 
at  the  works  thought  a  blunder  had  been  made,  and  that  loads  of  ballast  had  been  inad- 
vertently consigned  to  them.  The  ore  was  obviously  granite  and  it  required  a  trained 
eye,  such  as  that  of  Dr.  Richard  Pearee,  manager  of  the  Boston  and  Colorado  Smelting 
Company,  to  detect  the  fact  that  the  mica  of  the  granite  had  been  largely  removed,  leav- 
ing small,  iron-stained  spots  amid  which  were  disseminated  dull  yellow  specks  of  gold. 
The  ore  found  in  the  breccia  would  also  deceive  the  unwary.  A  glance  into  the  ore  bins 
of  the  chlorination  establishments  will  exhibit  a  mixture  of  broken  rock,  which  looks 
more  like  the  spoil  of  a  liarren  cross-cut  than  the  yield  of  a  rich  stope.  The  petrographer, 
in  looking  over  this  material,  would  easily  label  the  rock,  but  if  not  initiated,  he  would 
wonder  whether  it  could  be  gold-bearing.  On  being  assured  that  it  was  valuable  as  such, 
he  would  take  a  few  pieces  and  break  them  open  so  as  to  examine  a  fresh  surface,  and  it 
would  not  be  long  before  he  would  see,  on  the  planes  of  fracture,  evidences  of  richness. 

The  occurrence  of  tellurides  characterizes  the  district.  Whatever  free  gold  Is  found 
in  the  oxidized  ores  near  the  surface  has  invariably  that  peculiar  appearance  which  char- 
acterizes the  precious  metal  when  it  has  originated  from  the  disintegration  of  tellurides. 
It  is  dull-looking  and  brown,  resembling  gold  which  has  been  precipitated  from  solution, 
and  is  often  found  in  splashes  that  look  like  reddish-lirown  clay,  but,  on  being  burnished, 
by  scratching,  exhibit  the  unmistakable  glint  of  gold. 

Tellurides  are  compounds  which  tellurium  forms  with  the  metals,  in  a  manner 
similar  to  the  combinations  formed  by  sulphur  and  selenium.  The  first  determination 
of  this  interesting  mineral  species  is  due  to  Klaproth,  who,  in  1802,  recognized  them  in 
the  ores  of  Zalathna.  in  Transylvania.  Tellurium  is  a  non-metallic  element  with  a  metal- 
lic lustre.  In  its  chemical  combinations  it  acts  in  a  manner  analogous  to  sulphur,  which, 
it  appears,  at  times,  to  replace.  Native  tellurium  is  a  tin-white  brittle  substance  with  a 
bright  metallic  lustre.  Its  commercial  valiie  is  $3.50  per  ounce,  but  the  demand  for  it  in 
the  arts  Is  very  slight  and  a  few  shipments  demoralize  the  market,  as  is  the  case  with 
most  of  the  rare  earths.  It  is  extremely  uncommon  at  Cripple  Creek,  but  in  Boulder  county 
it  is  frequently  encountered.  A  mass,  twenty-five  pounds  in  weight,  was  found,  in  1S77, 
in  the  John  Jay  mine,  near  Jimtown.  In  Gunnison  county,  in  southern  Colorado,  it  has 
lately  been  found  in  the  Vulcan  mine,  in  mica  schist,  associated  with  a  lode  of  gold- 
bearing  iron-pyrites,  which,  in  the  oxidized  zone,  includes  masses  of  native  sulphur. 

Telluride  ores  have  become  an  important  source  of  gold  during  the  past  five  years 
on  account  of  the  discoveries  made  in  Colorado  and  West  Australia.  They  have  been 
treated  as  something  quite  new  and  phenomenal.  As  the  result  of  the  success  of  the  two 
new  districts  there  has  grown  up  an  idea  that  this  mode  of  gold  occurrence  indicates  ore 
bodies  of  an  especially  persistent  nature,  a  fallacy  akin  to  the  older  one  which  assumes  an 
enrichment  with  depth  as  a  general  characteristic  of  gold  veins.  Tellurides  have  been 
mined  in  Transylvania  for  a  century;  they  have  been  known  in  Colorado,  as  iniporlant 
ores  of  gold  and  silver,  since  1872,  two  districts,  the  La  Plata  mountains  and  Boulder 
county,  yielding  them  in  commercial  quantities.  In  none  of  those  regions  have  they  been 
characterized  by  any  especial  continuity  in  depth.  Quite  the  contrary.  Until  Cripple 
Creek,  and  then  Kalgoorlie,  commenced  to  make  a  record,  it  was  generally  held,  among 
those  who  wore  aware  of  the  facts,  that  telluride  ores  were  erratic  in  behavior  and  difficult 
to  treat.  The  former  is  not  more  true  of  them  now  than  of  gold  deposits  in  general, 
while  the  latter  has  been  largely  overcome  by  the  advance  of  metallurgical  practice. 

The  following  is  a  simple  test  for  tellurides:  Remove  a  small  bit  of  the  suspected 
mineral  with  the  point  of  an  old  knife,  and  put  it  in  a  porcelain  dish  or  a  white  saucer. 
Add  three  or  four  drops  of  strong  sulphuric  acid,  and  heat  over  a  lamp.  Should  tellurium 
enter  into  the  composition  of  Ihe  suspected  mineral,  a  beautiful  pur|)lc  will  suffuse  the 

25 


colorless  acid.  The  miner's  time-honored  test  is  to  put  the  ore  in  the  fire  of  a  blacksmith's 
forge  and  roast  it.  Tellurium  fuses  at  a  comparatively  low  temperature,  and  becomes 
volatalized,  passing  off  in  white  fumes  of  telluric  oxide.  If  the  telluride  mineral  contains 
gold,  the  latter  will  remain  iu  the  form  of  globules.  Even  the  precious  telluride  hidden 
in  the  seams  of  the  piece  of  ore  will  be  exuded  as  a  yellow  perspiration.  The  miner  calls 
this  process  "sweating,"  and  the  reason  for  it  becomes  obvious  when  the  results  are  ob- 
served. 

The  principal  telluride  minerals  found  in  the  Cripple  Creek  ores  are  sylvanite,  cal- 
averite,  and  petzite.  Sylvanite,  named  after  the  place  of  Its  discovery,  the  historic  gold 
field  of  Transylvania,  is  the  most  characteristic  of  Cripple  Creek  ores.  It  is  a  double 
telluride,  containing  gold  and  silver,  an  avei'age  composition  being  28  per  cent,  gold,  16 
per  cent,  silver,  and  56  per  cent,  tellurium.  Sylvanite  is  a  brilliant  silvery-white  mineral, 
having  a  characteristic  crystalline  habit,  to  which  it  owes  its  other  name,  "graphic  tellu- 
rium," the  arrangement  of  the  crystals  resembling  Arabic  lettering. 

On  account  of  the  absence  of  silver  in  the  composition  of  the  richest  ores  of  Cripple 
Creek,  it  has  been  concluded  that  the  gold  occurs,  for  the  most  part,  combined  with  tellu- 
rium alone,  in  the  form  of  the  mineral  calaverite.  Calaverite  is  the  simple  telluride  of 
gold;  pure  specimens  contain  44.5  per  cent,  gold  and  55.5  per  cent,  tellurium.  It  is  named 
after  the  county  of  Calaveras,  in  California,  where  it  was  first  found,  at  the  Stanislaus 
mine.  It  usually  carries  from  2  to  3  per  cent,  of  silver,  which  then  must  be  considered  as 
an  impurity.  The  purest  varieties  have  a  bronze-yellow  color.  It  is  the  characteristic 
mineral  of  the  rich  ores  of  Kalgoorlie,  in  'West  Australia.  Calaverite  is  rather  difHcult 
to  distinguish  from  iron  pyrites;  the  difference  in  color  is  slight,  but  the  former  is  easily 
cut  by  a  knife,  while  the  latter  will  not  permit  it.  The  cubic  crystalline  habit  of  py- 
rites will  usually  help  to  make  it  known,  because  calaverite  rarely  occurs  in  any  other 
than  a  massive  form,  and  has  a  distinctly  conchoidal  fracture. 

Petzite,  named  after  the  German  chemist  Petz,  is,  like  sylvanite,  a  double  telluride 
of  gold  and  silver,  its  average  composition  being  25  per  cent,  gold,  42  per  cent,  silver,  and 
33  per  cent,  tellurium.  It  is  much  darker  than  sylvanite,  being  steel-gray  to  iron-black; 
it  is  also  slightly  harder  and  more  brittle. 

All  these  tellurides  are  distinguished  from  the  baser  minerals,  with  which  they 
may  be  occasionally  confounded,  by  their  peculiarly  rich  lustre. 

The  lodes  of  Cripple  Creek  are  further  characterized  by  the  presence  of  fiuorite 
or  fluorspar  (the  fluoride  of  calcium),  a  beautiful  purple  mineral  which  is  so  notably 
associated  with  the  ores  of  the  district  as  to  have  led  to  the  idea  that  it  could  he  ac- 
cepted as  an  Indication  of  the  richness  of  the  veins  in  which  it  was  found.  But,  like 
similar  attempts  at  short  cuts  to  knowledge  of  this  kind,  the  generalization  has  proved 
fallacious.  There  are  several  large  lodes  of  very  low-grade  ore  in  the  district  which  are 
purple  with  fluorite,  and  there  are  some  very  rich  ones  almost  devoid  of  it.  The  asso- 
ciation of  the  gold  and  the  fluorspar  points  to  a  similarity,  and  possibly  a  contempo- 
raneity, of  origin;  but  this  fact  does  not,  and  could  not.  predicate  whether  the  quantity 
of  gold  present  will  give  the  ore  an  average  value  of  ?2  or  of  $200  per  ton.  As  a 
matter  of  science,  both  kinds  of  ore  may  be  considered  gold-bearing;  as  a  matter  of  busi- 
ness, one  spells  losses  and  the  other  dividends. 

Below  the  depth,  which  ranges  from  100  to  400  feet,  reached  by  surface  waters, 
the  unaltered  tellurides  appear  in  all  their  untarnished  beauty.  At  a  further  depth, 
from  500  to  700  feet,  the  ores  become  more  complex,  because  of  the  increasing  per- 
centage of  baser  minerals,  chiefly  iron  pyrites,  but  including  also  galena  ( the  sulphide 
of  lead)  and  stibnite  (the  sulphide  of  antimony).  This  change  is  important  chiefly 
from  a  metallurgical  standpoint,  because  the  increase  of  sulphur  renders  the  roasting 
of  the  ores  more  expensive.  The  general  question  of  the  probable  changes  to  be  en- 
countered as  the  mines  become  deeper  will  be  discussed  under  another  heading  at  the 
close  of  this  description  of  the  district. 

VI.     THE    FUTURE   OF    THE    DISTRICT. 

In  spite  of  the  proverbial  dlfliculty  of  attempts  to  prophesy  the  future,  one  can 
not  consider  the  condition  of  a  mining  district  so  productive,  as  that  of  which  Cripple 
Creek  is  the  center,  without  a  glance  at  the  possibilities  created  by  the  vigorous  de- 
velopment which  is  now  in  progress.  In  the  ninth  year  of  its  existence  Cripple  Creek 
produced  an  amount  of  gold  valued  at  $15,500,000,  of  which  24  per  cent,  was  distributed 
in  the  form  of  profits  upon  the  operations  of  the  mines.  Is  this  to  be  the  height  of 
achievement? 


26 


The  present  boundaries  of  the  productive  portion  of  the  district  have  already 
overlapped  the  area  occupied  hy  the  breeiia,  which,  not  long  ago,  was  supposed  to  limit 
the  territory  open  to  successful  mining.  The  central  mass  of  andesite-breccia  covers 
about  eight  square  miles.  It  is  undoubtedly  the  proper  territory  for  further  explora- 
tion. Recent  developments  have  proved  that  uo  part  of  it  affords  greater  promise  of 
affording  large  masses  of  ore  than  that  which  lies  along  the  border  separating  the 
breccia  from  the  surrounding  granite.  However,  an  important  feature  of  the  active 
exploratory  work  of  the  past  two  years  has  been  the  discovery  of  pay  ore  outside  the 
breccia,  away  from  the  contact  referred  to,  and  far  out  in  the  body  of  the  granite 
which,  like  the  sea  around  an  island,  encloses  the  central  volcanic  area  of  Cripple 
Creek.  It  was  surmised  by  the  wriiei',  many  years  ago,  that  such  discoveries  would  be 
made,  because  of  the  known  fact  that  the  phonolite  dykes  pass  out  of  the  breccia  into 
the  granite,  both  in  depth  and  in  strike;  and  wherever  the  dykes  extend,  there  also 
the  facilities  for  the  circulation  of  mineral-bearing  solutions  must  in  all  probability  have 
been  afforded  sufficiently  to  permit  of  the  deposition  of  gold  ores. 

The  feature  which  characterizes  the  occurrence  of  ore  in  the  Cripple  Creek  dis- 
trict is  the  comparative  absence  of  any  dependence  upon  a  particular  rock  encasement. 
Rich  ore  bodies  have  been  discovered  in  both  the  granite  and  the  breccia,  and  also  as 
impregnations  in  syenite,  phonolite  and  basalt.  Wherever  passageways  have  been  af- 
forded by  the  fracturing  of  the  rocks,  there  the  ore-bearing  solutions  appear  to  have 
circulated  and  precipitated  their  golden  freight.  Such  passageways  have  varied  in  their 
nature  according  to  the  physical  condition  of  the  rocks  they  traversed,  so  that  a  line  of 
linked  breaks  in  a  rock  of  fragmentary  composition,  like  breccia,  has  become  a  depos- 
itory of  ore  fully  as  much  as  the  cleaner-cut  fissuring  in  a  homogeneous  crystalline  rock, 
such  as  the  granite  and  syenite.  The  direction  of  the  fractures  followed  by  the  ore 
has"  been  determined  by  the  lines  of  weakness  previously  developed  through  the  forma- 
tion of  dykes  and  other  bodies  of  eruptive  rock.  As  a  consequence  the  lodes  have  a 
course  which  is  generally  sympathetic  to  the  structural  relations  of  their  geological 
environment,  although  they  do  not  slavishly  follow  the  exact  lines  of  the  dykes.  The 
latter  are  often  tortuous  in  their  strike  and  dip,  while  the  lodes,  tor  the  formation  of 
which  they  afforded  the  necessary  facilities,  tend  to  maintain  a  straighter  line,  which 
may  be  seen,  as,  for  example,  on  Battle  Mountain,  to  cut  across  bends  and  irregular 
sinuosities  of  the  especial  dyke  with  which  any  particular  lode  is  associated.  The 
results,  as  expressed  on  a  map,  may  be  likened  to  a  road  which  follows  a  river,  the 
windings  of  which  it  generally,  but  not  particularly,  follows. 

The  map  published  by  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  marks  the  existence 
of  several  dykes  and  cores  of  phonolite  outside  the  central  area.  Mining  explorations 
have  uncovered  many  others,  unknown  at  the  time  the  government  geologists  were 
investigating  the  district.  Pay  ore — that  is,  material  which  under  existing  conditions 
yields  a  profit — has  been  discovered  in  several  directions  outside  the  boundaries  formerly 
supposed  to  limit  the  gold-bearing  territory.  The  principal  finds  have  been  made  to 
the  northeast,  on  the  slopes  rising  from  both  sides  of  the  valley  known  as  Grassy;  to 
the  southwest,  on  Beacon  Hill;  and  to  the  south,  at  Victor.  The  last  is  in  many 
respects  the  most  important,  because  a  very  large  ore  body  has  been  opened  up  in 
ground  which  is  fully  2,000  feet  south  of  the  contact,  and  therefore  far  out  in  I  ho 
granite.  This  is  an  event  of  great  importance  to  the  future  of  the  district.  l<\irther 
favorable  eviilence  is  afforded  by  the  extension  of  the  Independence  vein,  which  carries 
ore  in  the  breccia,  at  the  breccia-granite  contact,  and  for  several  humlred  feet  south- 
ward into  the  granite  along  a  line  which  keeps  in  touch  with  a  dyke  of  phonolite.  The 
occurrence  of  very  rich,  although  restricted,  ore  bodies  in  the  flat  sheets  of  phonolite 
which  traverse  the  granite  of  Beacon  Hill,  is  another  discovery,  made  during  recent 
years,  of  much  suggestiveness. 

The  ore-bearing  area  has  been  thus  satisfactory  extended  in  siriUo,  Next 
comes  the  question,  what  of  the  deep?  Has  increasing  depth  coincided  with  any 
evidente  of  impoverishment?  No.  At  least  to  no  greater  extent  than  in  oilier  ^;old- 
mining  regions.  That  is.  some  mines  have  got  out  of  ore  in  depth,  some  ]\:\\v  pene- 
trated into  better  ore,  others  appear  to  be  just  holding  their  own.  It  Is  undoubtedly 
true  that  a  few  years  ago  there  was  a  good  deal  of  limidity  regarding  the  fuluro  of  the 
mines  when  they  should  become  deeper.  It  was  Uiiowii  ilial  the  lodes  wniilij  cMiuually 
penelrate  into  the  underlying  granite,  and  it  was  obvious  that  those  near  the  edges  of 
the  depression  occupied  by  the  breccia  would  be  the  first  to  do  so.  The  workings  of 
the  Portland  and  Independence  were  among  the  earliest  (o  pass  Into  the  granite  which 
dips  under  them  on  the  south  and  west.     Other  mines  on   the  adja<ent  hill  hav(>  had  a 


27 


similar  experience.  But  the  discouraging  results  anticipated  by  the  timorous  have  not 
supervened.  The  ore  bodies  have  been  found  to  continue  their  course  amid  this  changed 
geological  environment,  and  they  are  as  rich  as  they  were  in  the  breccia.  On  the 
other  hand,  one  or  two  of  the  deepest  shafts  have  been  unsuccessful  in  developing 
productive  mines,  but  in  these  instances  the  upper  ground  gave  no  particular  promise 
of  any  betterment  in  depth.  Mines,  like  men,  must  be  exhausted  at  last;  some  men 
lose  their  vigor  long  before  old  age,  many  die  as  infants.  It  is  so  with  mines.  Every 
mine  must  have  a  horizon  at  which  it  is  at  its  maximum  productiveness.  What  that 
horizon  is  depends  upon  the  particular  conditions  which  obtain  in  each  instance.  Some 
ore  bodies  are  like  new-born  infants  and  die  out  as  soon  as  they  are  chronicled.  Many 
last  long  enough  to  enrich  one  owner  and  then  to  delude  his  successor.  Others  persist 
with  masterful  strength  to  a  great  depth  and  threaten  to  test  the  utmost  limits  of 
human  ingenuity  in  the  pursuit  of  them  underground. 

The  last  year  has  seen  a  notable  introduction  of  capital  from  the  outside.  There 
is  an  evident  increase  of  interest  in  the  opportunities,  for  both  speculation  and  invest- 
ment, offered  by  the  mines.  The  sale  of  several  properties  has  not  led  to  the  retirement 
of  their  previous  owners,  but  to  a  revival  of  activity  on  their  part  in  new  directions. 
The  mining  men  of  Colorado  have  been  bred  in  an  atmosphere  of  gold-seeking,  and  the 
acquirement  of  riches  due  to  a  successful  operation  only  leads  to  the  inauguration  of 
fresh  enterprises.  The  result  of  these  transfers  of  property  will  cause  an  increase  of 
energy  in  prospecting,  and  in  the  wake  of  such  new  explorations  there  will  come  dis- 
coveries, one  or  more  of  which  may  prove  far-reaching.  Whatever  development  is  un- 
dertaken is  likely  to  be  better  directed  than  formerly;  an  increased  knowledge  of  the 
local  geological  conditions  and  the  introduction  of  a  larger  measure  of  technical  skill 
in  the  underground  prospecting  will  doubtless  become  evident,  both  in  the  lessened 
costs  of  operation  and  in  a  diminution  of  merely  haphazard  explorations. 

The  continued  improvement  in  economic  conditions  tends  to  increase  the  tonnage 
of  ore  capable  of  yielding  a  profit.  The  two  existing  railroads  will  probably  be  supple- 
mented by  others  in  the  immediate  future,  and  the  further  competition  thus  incited 
must  decrease  the  rates  of  transport  to  the  mills  and  smelters.  The  latter  are  in  the 
valley,  nor  is  there  any  reason  to  believe  that  it  will  at  any  time  be  found  advantageous 
to  erect  reduction  plants  at  the  mines.  Lack  of  fuel,  a  restricted  water  supply,  and 
the  high  price  of  labor  all  operate  heavily  against  such  a  plan.  Meanwhile  the  mills 
of  Florence  and  Colorado  City  are  increasing  in  capacity  and  in  number,  the  demand 
for  ores  keeping  pace  with  the  growth  of  the  ore  supply.  Although  the  rates  of  treat- 
ment do,  at  rare  intervals,  rise  to  a  level  which  the  mine  owners  consider  extortionate, 
yet  in  the  long  run  the  producer  of  ore  is  on  the  side  of  the  big  battalions,  because  the 
addition  to  the  number  of  mills  always  tends  to  catch  up  with  the  supply  of  ore  and 
then  to  exceed  it.  All  the  economic  factors  favor  a  gradual  decrease  in  the  cost  of 
realizing  the  value  of  the  gold,  and  this  renders  available  a  larger  amount  of  lower 
grade  ore  each  year,  giving  an  enhanced  value  to  mines  which  not  long  ago  could  not 
meet  the  working  charges. 

All  the  signs  are  favorable;  the  brilliant  discoveries  of  the  early  days  and  the 
successful  development  of  the  present  promise  a  future  which  should  long  maintain 
Cripple  Creek  in  the  proud  position  which  it  now  occupies,  namely,  that  of  the  largest 
and  richest  gold  mining  district  on  the  American  continent.

CRIPPLE    CREEK    FROM    THE    STAND- 
POINT  OF  STATISTICS 

my  GEORGE  REX  BUCKMAN 

WRITTEN    SPECIALLY    FOR    THE    OFFICIAL    MANUAL 

Mr.  Rickard,  in  his  comprehensive,  luminous  and  exceedingly  valuable  article,  has 
related  the  story,  in  most  interesting  detail,  of  the  conversion  in  less  than  a  decade  of  a 
mountain  wilderness  into  one  of  the  greatest  of  the  world's  gold-bearing  districts.  He 
has  told  the  whole  story;  nothing  remains  for  the  writer  except  to  present  a  few  figures 
which  in  tabular  form  may  serve  to  further  impress  the  fact  of  Cripple  Creek's  rapid 
growth,  as  well  as  conduce  to  a  better  understanding  of  the  pages  which  follow. 

The  spring  of  1891  marks  the  real  beginning  of  mining,  though  in  a  small  and  crude 
way,  in  what  later  came  to  be  known  as  the  Cripple  Creek  district.  The  production  for 
this  year  is  a  very  uncertain  quantity,  but  it  surely  did  not  exceed  $200,000,  and  may  have 
been  very  much  less.  During  the  following  year  comparatively  little  progress  was  made 
in  actual  mining,  prospectors  being  busy  with  the  location  of  the  available  ground  in 
what  was  believed  to  be  the  mineral  zone;  and  the  gold  product  barely  reached  $600,000. 
In  1S93  a  new  impetus  to  gold  mining  was  given  by  the  tremendous  fall  in  the  price  of 
silver;  many  experienced  miners  from  other  parts  of  the  state  turned  to  the  new  gold 
fields;  Cripple  Creek  underwent  rapid  development,  and  production  rose  to  about  $2,000,- 
000.  The  great  labor  strike  of  1894  gave  the  district  a  temporary  setback,  the  principal 
mines  being  closed  down  for  several  months,  and  as  a  consequence  the  ratio  of  increase 
was  considerably  reduced,  the  production  amounting  to  but  $3,250,000.  But  from  that 
time  until  the  present,  development  has  gone  forward  by  leaps  and  bounds,  until  in  1899 
the  production  reached  the  magnificent  total  of  $19..'>00,000.  The  following  table  shows  the 
production  of  the  Cripple  Creek  district  for  the  nine  years  of  its  history: 

COLD    PRODUCTION    OF    CRIPPLE   CREEK,    BY    YEARS. 

1891 %      200,000 

1892 5S7.;no 

1893 2,010,400 

1894 3,250,000 

1895 6,100,000 

1896 8,750,000 

1897 12,000,000 

1898 15.000.000 

1899 19,500,000 

According  to  the  estimate  of  the  Director  of  the  Mint,  the  gold  production  of  the 
United  States  for  1899  was  $70,500,000,  and  of  Colorado,  $20,000,000.  Cripple  Creek's  pro- 
duction will  (loulitlcss  1)0  i)Iared  l)y  this  authority  at  about  $17,500,000,  these  ligures  being 
based  on  returns  from  smelters,  reduction  plants,  refining  works,  and  on  mint  receipts, 
no  account  being  taken  of  ore  mined  and  unshipped,  in  transit,  or  at  reduction  works, 
the  amount  of  which  was  at  the  close  of  1899  far  greater  than  at  any  previous  time. 
From  these  figures,  which  may  fairly  be  compared,  it  will  be  seen  that  during  the  past 
year  Cripple  Crook  furnishod  over  two-thirds  of  the  gold  production  of  Colorado,  ;uid 
nearly  one-fourth  of  the  entire  production  of  the  United  States. 

Assuming  that  the  world  production  for  the  same  period  was  not  far  from  $300.- 
000,000.  it  is  further  soon  that  Cripple  CreoU,  during  1,S99,  contributed  about  onoelghtccnth 
of  the  tremendous  total.  These  figures  are  sufflclently  surprising;  but.  unless  the  promise 
of  the  future  should  prove  illusory.  Cripple  Creek  is  destined  to  play  an  even  more  iironi- 

29 


inent  and  commanding  part  in  the  production  of  the  world's  gold.  On  this  point  I  quote 
from  a  statement  made  by  United  States  Mint  Director  Roberts,  whose  expectations  of  the 
future  of  Cripple  Creek's  gold  production  are  certainly  fully  justified; 

"The  world  does  not  depend  on  the  Transvaal  for  its  stock  of  gold.  Colorado  will 
produce  more  gold  in  1900  than  all  North  America  yielded  ten  years  ago,  and  this  con- 
tinent will  yield  more  next  year  than  the  whole  world  did  ten  years  ago.  Cripple  Creek 
is  up  to  the  I'ecord  of  the  Transvaal  five  years  ago,  and  Cripple  Creek,  with  Alaska  and 
the  Klondike,  will  next  year  exceed  the  Transvaal  production  of  1897." 

The  profits  of  Cripple  Creek  mining,  as  shown  by  the  dividends  paid  by  the  com- 
panies operating  in  the  district,  are  found  to  have  fully  kept  pace  with  the  increase  in 
production,  as  will  be  seen  from  the  following  table: 

CRIPPLE   CREEK    DIVIDENDS,   BY    YEARS. 

1893 $  S&,940.00 

1894 853,450.21 

1895 1,231,000.00 

1896 1,176,744.37 

1897 1,269,395.00 

1898 2,596,145.00 

1899 4,354,402.85 

Total 111,570,077.43 

These  totals  do  not  by  any  means  represent  the  profits  of  the  several  years  or  dur- 
ing the  camp's  productive  life.  Though  nearly  all  the  mining  property  in  the  district  is 
owned  by  companies,  a  portion  is  in  the  hands  of  lessees,  while  a  further  portion  is  owned 
by  companies  whose  stocks  are  closely  held,  and  of  whose  operations  the  public  is  not  in- 
formed. In  addition,  a  number  of  properties  included  among  the  profitable  producers  are 
owned  privately. 

Has  the  climax  of  Cripple  Creek's  achievement  been  reached?  The  answer  by  those 
whose  opinions  are  of  the  greatest  value  is  an  unqualified  negative.  Marvelous  as  has 
been  the  development  during  recent  years,  there  are  no  signs  of  the  limit  of  production 
being  neared;  on  the  contrary,  each  succeeding  year  seems  to  project  this  point  further 
into  the  future.  But  a  fraction  of  the  assured  gold-bearing  area  has  been  as  yet  exploited 
even  on  the  surface.  There  are  scarcely  a  half  dozen  shafts  in  the  district  that  have 
reached  a  depth  of  1,000  feet;  the  workings  of  a  considerable  proportion  of  the  foremost 
mines  are  still  above  the  500-ft.  level.  Development  is  still  in  its  beginnings,  even  within 
the  limits  of  the  producing  area,  while  the  outlying  districts  which  compass  this  central 
zone  offer  magnificent  possibilities.  For  a  decade,  at  least.  Cripple  Creek  promises  to  in- 
crease. Whether  it  will  finally  distance  its  great  South  African  rival  can  only  be  con- 
jectured, but  the  expectation  is  a  reasonable  one  that  within  a  few  years  its  output  will 
equal  that  of  the  United  States  at  the  present  time. 

Cripple  Creek  is  unique  among  the  great  gold-producing  districts  of  the  world  in 
that  it  has  been  developed  almost  w'holly  out  of  itself.  It  was  discovered  and  pros- 
pected by  poor  men,  who  located  the  claims  and  determined  the  course  of  the  great 
dykes  and  mineral-bearing  veins;  the  foundations  of  practically  all  the  great  mining 
companies  were  laid  by  men  whose  only  capital  was  their  muscle.  The  shafts  and 
tunnels  which  penetrate  the  golden  hills,  and  the  great  plants  of  machinery  which  dot 
their  slopes  have,  in  the  great  majority  of  cases,  been  paid  for  with  the  gold  obtained 
from  the  identical  ground.  Few  of  the  companies  which  are  to-day  furnishing  the  bulk 
of  the  district's  output  originally  possessed  any  cash  working  capital.  The  leasing 
system  was  naturally  evolved  from  the  necessities  of  the  case,  and  through  its  opera- 
tions practically  all  the  great  producing  properties  of  the  district  received  their  initial 
development.  These  conditions  have  favored  the  multiplication  of  companies;  so  that, 
when  properly  understood,  the  fact  that  but  a  small  fraction  of  the  five  hundred  prop- 
erties shown  in  this  volume  are  developed  mines,  does  not  argue  against  the  general 
success  of  mining  in  the  district.  A  great  majority  of  these  are  owned  by  companies 
without  working  capital,  which  must  depend  for  at  least  the  beginnings  of  development 
on  the  desultory  operations  of  lessees.  But  as  time  goes  on  the  list  of  "mines"  gradually 
lengthens,  as  the  result  of  the  successful  labors  of  these  lessees,  while  the  "prospects"  are 
in  turn  recruited  as  the  debatable  borderland  of  the  district  is  pushed  still  farther  away. 
Accumulated  royalties  from  leases  enable  the  companies  on  their  expiration  to  prose- 
ciitp  systematic  development.     This  is  the  manner  in  which  the  average  Cripple  Creek 

30 


mine  is  evolved;  aiul  while  the  jn-oeess  generally  reiiuires  time,  and  is  attended  with 
many  uncertainties,  it  is  perhaps,  on  the  whole,  the  most  satisfactory  that  could  be 
devised. 

A  history  of  the  development  of  Cripple  Creek  would  be  incomplete  that  did  not 
include  a  reference  to  the  growth  of  the  mining  stock  business  of  Colorado  Springs. 
Since  it  was  Colorado  Springs  men  who  discovered  and  developed  the  new  gold  fields — 
but  twenty-five  miles  distant,  as  the  bird  flies — it  was  but  natural  that  the  business  of 
trading  in  the  shares  of  the  companies  organized  to  operate  therein  should  center  in 
that  city.  It  very  soon  became  evident  that  an  exchange  was  necessary  to  systematize 
the  business  and  to  afford  protection  to  both  broker  and  client.  Of  the  several  ex- 
changes which  have  been  organized,  the  original  as  well  as  the  most  important  is  The 
Colorado  Springs  Mining  Stock  Association,  established  in  May,  1894.  During  the  six 
years  of  its  existence  it  has  grown  steadily  in  importance  and  in  the  confidence  and 
respect  of  the  investing  public,  until  to-day  it  is  recognized  as  the  leading  institution 
of  its  kind  in  the  United  States.  It  is  safe  to  say  that  it  occupies  a  unique  place  among 
the  exchanges  of  the  country.  It  was  organized  by  the  foremost  business  men  of  Colo- 
rado Springs — bankers,  merchants  and  capitalists;  and  according  to  its  constitution 
these  non-board  members  must  compose  the  majority  upon  its  governing  and  principal 
committees.  These  men,  among  whom  are  the  presidents  of  the  four  banks  of  Colorado 
Springs,  had  seen  the  incalculable  injury  which  has  been  inflicted  upon  the  business 
interests  of  many  other  cities  through  the  questionable  practice  of  their  mining  ex- 
changes; and  hence  they  lend  their  names  and  give  their  time  and  the  benefit  of  their 
experience  to  the  direction  of  this  most  important  business  interest  of  the  city.  It  is 
not  surprising,  therefore,  that  as  a  consequence  of  these  exceptional  conditions  of  its 
organization  and  management,  the  Colorado  Springs  Mining  Stock  Exchange  has  from 
the  beginning  been  accorded  the  I'espect  and  confidence  of  the  public;  and  it  is  largely 
because  of  the  reputation  made  by  this  exchange  that  Colorado  Springs,  though  a  com- 
paratively small  city,  has  become  the  foremost  mining  stock  market  in  the  United 
States,  upon  which  business  is  daily  transacted  not  only  throughout  this  country,  but 
with  most  of  the  European  capitals.  The  growth  of  this  business  has  been  very  rapid, 
particularly  during  the  last  three  years,  as  is  shown  by  the  following  table: 

SALES    ON    THE   COLORADO    SPRINGS    MINING    STOCK    EXCHANGE: 

Shares.  Cash  Value. 

1897 49,723,857  $  7,573,629.00 

1898 66,575,999  10,253,146.00 

1899 : 236,165,443  34,446,956.54 

The  piice  of  seats  on  this  exchange  has  also  ailvanced  rapidly  ami  is  now  over 
$3,000.  Its  quarters,  which  were  considered  ambitious  three  years  ago.  are  now  en- 
tii'ely  inadequate,  and  a  proposal  has  just  been  accepte<l  for  the  erection  by  Mr.  \V.  S. 
Stratton  of  a  building  for  the  exclusive  occupancy  of  the  institution  wbiih  will  cost 
upwards  of  $250,000. 

The  Colorado  Springs  Board  of  Brokers'  Association  is  a  newer  organization, 
having  begun  business  in  September,  1899.  It  has  a  large  membership  and  occupies 
commodious  and  admirably  arranged  quarters.  That  it  is  already  doing  a  considerable 
business  will  be  seen  from  the  following:

At  the  present  tiuK^  i.Iune,  1900  1  the  development  of  the  Cripple  Creek  district 
is  proceeding  at  a  more  rapid  rate  than  ever  before  in  its  history.  Mining  activity, 
both  in  the  district  proper  and  in  the  outlying  sections,  is  unprecedented.  A  third 
railroad  is  under  active  construction,  connecting  Colorado  Springs  directly  with  the 
gold  camp,  the  completion  of  wbirb  in  Ociober  next  will  inauguralc  important  reduc- 
tions in  freight  rates.  New  plants  for  ore  treatment  are  building  which  will  increase 
the  daily  cajiacity  fully  33  per  cent.  As  retlecling  this  growth  and  expansion.  It  may 
be  stated  that  the  bank  deposits  of  Colorado  Springs,  the  business  and  financial  cculcr 
of  the  Cripple  Creek  district,  have  increased  500  |>er  cent,  in  the  past  six  years.

being  a  close  corporation,  nearly  all  of  the  stock  is  held  by  the  directors 
and  their  j)ersonal  friends,  there  being  only  about  lb, 000  shares  for  gen-

Some  time  ago  the  workings  of  this  company  were  somewhat  retarded 
by  the  heavy  flow  of  water,  but  the  various  tunnels  that  are  working  under 
Gold  hill  have  now  drained  the  luiue  so  that  a  much  heavier  (int]Mit  is

1,500,000  shares.     Par  value,  .fl.OO. 

In  treasury  March  10,  1900,  300,000  shares. 


Owns  the  Posey  and  Cable  lodes,  containing  4.02  acres,  survey  No. 
10,923;  the  St.  Peter  lode,  containing  0.413  acres,  survey  No.  9,110; 
the  Aztec,  containing  3.204  acres,  survey  No.  10,170;  also  a  part  of  the 
Black  Hawk,  containing  3.904  acres,  survey  No.  8,157;  all  the  above 
property  being  situated  in  the  S.  E.  1-4  of  section  25,  on  Beacon  hill. 
Total  acreage  is  18.201  acres.  All  patented.  The  property  of  this  com- 
pany adjoins  the  Prince  Albert  and  the  Are(|ua  townsite  on  Beacon  hill. 

There  is  a  shaft  house  and  horse  whim  on  the  Aztec  and  St.  Peter. 
Machinery  will  be  installed  in  the  main  working  shaft  in  the  center  of 
the  group.  The  Aztec  and  the  St.  Peter  have  a  shaft  185  feet  deep  and 
a  drift  of  60  feet.  A  vein  from  three  to  four  feet  wide  has  been  dis- 
closed, some  ore  running  as  high  as  $185.  In  developing  these  claims 
about  .$6,000  have  l)een  expended.  About  .|3,00(l  have  also  been  ex- 
pended on  the  Posey  and  Cable  lodes.  These  have  a  tunnel  of  200  feet, 
a  shaft  of  35  feet,  open  cuts,  etc.  A  network  of  veins  has  been  exposed, 
some  showing  values.  In  the  center  of  this  group  of  claims  a  main 
shaft  is  being  sunk. 

The  present  ownership  is  the  result  of  a  consolidation,  some  of 
the  properties  having  been  long  in  litigation,  which  prevented  their  de- 
velopment. By  purchase  of  all  conflicting  interests  this  company  has 
been  able  to  secure  perfect  title  to  its  large  area,  and,  with  the  de- 
velopment which  the  company  is  prepared  to  prosecute,  it  is  expected 
the  group  will  soon  enter  the  list  of  its  neighboring  Beacon  hill  pro- 
ducers. 

Highest  price  paid  for  this  stock  to  date,  5  cents.

Sufficient  work  to  secure  patent  has  been  done. 

Until  the  past  year  the  company  has  done  all  work  necessary  to 
perfect  title  and  acquire  patent,  and  the  widening  of  the  gold  belt  in 
the  Cripple  Creek  district  gives  to  this  company  splendid  prospects  for 
the  future.  The  opening  up  of  good  ore  in  school  section  16,  and  the 
fact  that  the  veins  trend  in  the  direction  of  the  property  owned  by  this 
'ompany,  together  with  the  fact  that  very  encouraging  assays  have  been 
found  upon  the  property,  gi^'es  to  the  company  great  encouragement,  and 
the  new  management  expects  to  bring  the  property  to  the  front.  The 
recent  strike  upon  the  property  of  the  Mayflower  Gold  JMining  Company 
has  added  much  to  the  outlook  for  this  part  of  the  district.

Owns  tlie  <;V)riolaniis,  10  1-3  acres,  in  the  S.  W.  1-1  of  section  29,  on 
Battle  mountain.    Patented. 

Two  steam  lioisting  plants  on  the  jiroperty  and  ore  bins. 

In  March  of  this  year  this  company  was  reorganized  and  has  adopted 
a  policy  of  development  that  will  likely  make  the  Coriolanus  a  big  paying 
mine.  A  new  double-compartment  shaft  has  been  contracted  for  and  will 
be  sunk  500  feet  immediately.  It  is  expected  that  this  shaft  will  inter- 
sect the  Ajax  vein.  The  mine  has  been  worked  for  several  years  in  a 
desultory  sort  of  way,  and  yet  about  |75,000.00  of  ore  has  been  taken  out 
of  the  property.  Last  year  over  S*12,000  of  ore  was  extracted,  which 
placed  the  property  on  the  mines  list  instead  of  the  prospects.  The 
liresent  price  of  stock  is  from  22  to  25  cents,  and,  as  the  com])any,  until 
the  new  organization,  was  a  close  corporation,  no  sales  had  been  made; 
hence  it  is  impossible  to  quote  prices  of  stock  ])rior  to  this  time.

The  company  has  been  operating  (Ui  its  own  account  a  portion  of  the 
Badger  Boy  claim,  and  has  just  com])leted  a  well-timbered  compartment 
shaft  to  a  de]illi  of  500  feet.'  Stations  have  been  cut  at  the  150,  300,  400 
and  500-foot  levels.  At  the  150-foot  level  a  drift  was  run  for  about  150 
feet  on  the  vein ;  on  the  400-foot  level  about  80  feet  of  drifting  was  done, 
and  170  feet  on  the  500-foot  level.  Scarcity  of  funds  compelliMl  the  aban- 
donment of  tjic  work  at  this  jioint.  There  are  also  other  shafts  on  the 
Badger  Boy  and  the  Ivanhoe  claims.  Five  sets  of  lessees  are  working 
on  the  Badger  Boy,  and  three  sets  on  the  Ivanhoe. 

Small  semi-monthly  shipments  are  being  I'egularly  made  from  the 
Badger  Boy.  From  the  Ivanhoe  a  shi]imeut  has  recently  been  made 
averaging  .f 35.(10  to  the  ton.  On  :May  9.  1900,  the  Badger  Boy  claim  was 
sold  to  ^Iv.  C.  AY.  Kurie,  of  ('olorado  Springs,  supposedly  for  .|95,000. 
From  the  money  thus  obtained  a  dividend  of  2  cents  will  be  paid  and 
about  $19,000  will  be  placed  in  the  treasury  of  the  company  for  develop- 
ment purposes. 

Stock  is  selling  readily  at  5  cents  per  share.

The  operations  of  this  (•onii)any  are  confined  to  the  Lee  shaft;  all  Development 
other  shafts  have  been  abandoned  with  a  view  to  the  erection,  at  once,  of

This  is,  and  has  been,  a  very  close  corporation,  and  the  property  was 
operated  and  develo])ed  under  the  leasing  system  with  varying  success 
until  1898.  Early  in  1899  the  company  took  hold,  built  a  commodious 
shaft  house  and  installed  a  fine  lioisting  plant,  costing  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  -150,000.  Since  then  the  company  has  carried  on  its  own  mining 
operations.  A  large  gross  jirodmtion  of  ore  has  been  made,  and  two 
quarterly  dividends  Jiave  lieeu  paid  of  3  cents  each,  amounting  to  130,- 
000,  the  last  being  paid  January  10,  1900.  A  substantial  surplus  is  at 
all  times  in  the  treasury  and,  in  fact,  the  company  is  one  of  the  most 
prosperous  in  the  camp.  As  practically  no  stock  changes  hands,  no 
quotations  can  be  given.  Being  a  close  corporation,  it  is  impossible  to

Shaft  house  on  the  Friday. 

The  Friday  has  an  incline  sliaft  of 
about  120  feet,  witli  several  drifts,

ment work.  On  the  Deer  lode  are  several  shafts  about  10  feet  deep  and 
a  55-foot  tunnel. 

A  large  amount  of  develoi»mont  work  was  done  on  the  I'riday  in
